This tutorial paper presents backstepping boundary control designs for fluid systems. It starts with an introduction of an output-feedback controller for the problem of vortex shedding around a cylindrical bluff body in the flow. It is then followed by a presentation of stabilization of the thermal convection loop. Finally, the paper concludes with a control design for the turbulent channel flow.
